Summary: Past Featured Story

"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."

Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.

Jim's reaction was really real. I think you've captured everyone so well in thsi tragedy.

Date: August 29, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: Hate

That was totally worth the wait. I loved Jim breaking down with Pam's mom. And I think it is really good that they've connected, and can help Pam together (or at least share stories).
This story is so sad, but so compelling and wonderfully written. Thanks!
So excited you're going to be updating more regularly! :)

'Oh, and I'm definitely seeing more of the world.' Too funny, Moxie. Very inventive, and a joy to read. I'll be laughing all night.

That was beautiful. Really nicely done.

Summary: Past Featured Story

Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.

Pam's bed is a double! Yay. Am excited for the next chapter!
Totally loving the drama and teh raw emotions that you're creating here.

Reviewer: desert island Signed
Date: April 23, 2007 Title: Chapter 8: It's what you do to me.

Wow. Just caught up with this and so glad I did. It's so beautifully written. And you have a really good grasp of who Jim and Pam are and how they managed to get themselves to this awkward, estranged place.
Really enjoying it, especially with lines like:
'She had broken his heart once, and since then he had been hoarding the pieces, disallowing her from knowing that they existed.'
Looking forward to more!

Reviewer: desert island Signed
Date: May 03, 2007 Title: Chapter 11: Time of Day

That was SO good. Truly well done.
Both Jim and Pam's thoughts as they lie together are so nice, and so in character. And your creation of Pam's relationship with her dad is so great because it explains so much about her personality and relationships.
I am so enjoying this, but feel like I am reading it all disjointedly (my fault), so I am really looking forward to sitting down one day soon and reading it all the way through (thus far) and reveiwing properly (and coherently). Can't wait for an update. Really beautiful!

Reviewer: desert island Signed
Date: May 10, 2007 Title: Chapter 13: Give her time.

That was great. Love Mrs. Beesly - her understanding of Pam and sharing it with Jim is great. Jim's emotions are so beautifully written here - his fear and anger.
And last chapter, their fight was so perfectly written and believable on so many levels.
Nice work.

Perfection. Beautiful perfection.
Jim coming to understand himself and Pam here is so well done.


Author's Response: thank you so much.  I figured Pam's a little too tired to respond at the moment ;-)  she had a tumultuous few days.

Reviewer: desert island Signed
Date: May 22, 2007 Title: Chapter 16: It was Tuesday.

I really liked the not-exciting-ness of this chapter. I think it was a good way to show how in tune with Pam Jim is and how she is scared, but he gets that. And any prank is tons of fun. And as always, superbly written.
Still loving this! Thanks!

Author's Response: ugh thank you so much for reviewing this chapter.  I was freaking out about posting it and wondering if the direction of it was all wrong.  Thanks so much for letting me know you liked it!!!

Reviewer: desert island Signed
Date: May 31, 2007 Title: Chapter 17: You have no idea...

Oh, that's good. Really, really good. I realy like Pam taking her time, but when ready, diving in. And Jim's patience is so sweet and fitting.
This is written so beautifully! I love it.

Summary: Past Featured Story

"'Jiiiiiiiiim. Come to beeeed,' Pam’s voice is light, and it mistily floats down the empty staircase as it swirls about the room, echoing like a siren’s song."

A series of one-shots. There are times when Jim and Pam's relationship seem a little supernatural.
